These are a few street photos from a recent roll he shot around Nashville. We both share a love for street art and graffiti so naturally, I'm completely enjoying these shots.

Aaron Shapiro
Every now and then I just have to brag a little about this photographer I know, Aaron Shapiro [aka the Husb]. I really, truly dig the work he does and love to show it off here.

Lisa Solomon
Looking to these beautiful pieces by artist Lisa Solomon for a bit of lift-me-up tonight. I especially am drawn to her use of layering and "drawing outside the lines."

5 x 5 by Aaron Shapiro
My ever talented husband just opened up an Etsy shop named 5 x 5 and you guys should all go take a look [and buy a print maybe?] ! His photos in the shop are taken with a Holga and used as an accompaniment on his photo shoots and travels. To see his other work visit his site.
[Click on his "Nashville" project to see his senior thesis work which will be hung later this month. We're so excited!]
Have a happy weekend! I will since it's my bdayyyy tomorrow!

Josh Blackwell
I'm having a "why didn't I think of that" moment. Josh Blackwell turns the ultra boring plastic bag into the ultra fab carrying tote that happens to be made out of plastic.
These would be the coolest bags to take to the grocery store!
Here are my favorites...

Chicago art II
Robert Gober was another favorite while visiting the Chicago Art Institute.
Untitled, 1989-96
Even though I am still learning how to properly talk about art I would describe Gober's work as highly conceptual. He connected his thoughts and concerns on politics and society in ways that astonished me.
In the above photo [found here] he connected ideas on purity through a crisp satin wedding dress, bags of kitty litter leaning against the walls, and wall paper with two illustrations of an Anglo American sleeping and an African American being hung. You'd really have to see it...be IN it to comprehend and appreciate his works of art.
Here's a nice little blurb from a little newspaper called The New York Times...

Peter Callesen
I've talked about my respect and admiration for beautiful papercuts before.
I just can't grasp the time, focus, and stillness it takes to create these beautiful works of art.
Peter Callesen is a new favorite. I love how the cut out piece might be different than the shape cut in the paper. I love the subtle humor in some of his pieces. I love how he molds paper into 3-D sculptures. I couldn't pick even just 2 or 3 works to share so I put quite a few. You won't be disappointed in his website which has a plethora of images for your eyes to feast on : )

Elephant and chickpea is the featured seller this month on Etsy and I am in love with their shoes! The house shoes come in different shades of blue and pink and orange and green...perfect for any outfit (even if just inside). Here is their interview.

recycled cassette tape art
I cannot remember where I first found out this artist. All I do remember is that I had never seen anything like it before!!
Iri5 has a series of cassette tape portraits that are incredible. The artists says "I imagine we are all, like cassettes, thoughts wrapped up in awkward packaging."
Juliana Neufeld
[Henry, mixed media 2005]
When looking for pieces to use in her collages, Juliana uses clips from 50's advertisements, old comic books, national geographics, old wallpaper samples, her own photographs, and other pieces that interest her.
[Kristiann, mixed media 2005]
Her site features other collages and what I like about them is that they're all unique but look great together. I cannot tell if they were made as series but I enjoy the personalization with each one as they all have a different names (Henry and Kristiann for example).

Christian Rex van Minnen
[click to enlarge]
Ok, honestly, I kind of don't like these paintings by Christian Rex van Minnen. But...then again, I think I do. There is something about them that pulls me in. I can't stop looking at the fine details or are those body organs? No, wait, they're something like a flower? See? His images are mysterious and grotesquely beautiful.

Glass Pyrographs
Traces of the Molten State from Etsuko Ichikawa on Vimeo.
"My work is a continuing investigation of what lies between the ephemeral and the eternal.
Moment and memory, absorption and evaporation, light and shadow are some of the triggers that inspire me and relate to my work. My “glass pyrographs” are made by drawing hot molten glass, which is one way to capture and eternalize the immediacy of a moment, while my hanging and floating installations are about ever-changing states of mind.
Some of the materials that I work with are glass, resin, and thread, and the scale of work varies from small 2D work on paper to large-scale installations.
Born and raised in Japan and having lived in the United States for over the last decade, I recognize my dual cultures as defining influences and psychology as my primary source of inspiration."

Thanks Jean&Dylan for sharing!!
Diana Fayt
With illustrations of dogwood flowers, poppies, and chrysanthemums, how could you not love Diana Fayt's pottery? Her collections have so many colors and whimsical illustrations (including fairy-tale rabbits, a friendly octopus, and out-to-sea ships). I'd love to own any piece of hers.
